how to setup prose.io to edit md files without github?

Question

prose.io is great for editing markup files hosted at Github. But how can I use prose.io (or its source) to edit files lying in my private git repo, without the need to push my markup files to Github repos?

I'm thinking of setting up jekyll based static site generator server, with git and jekyll, in order to deploy static websites with jekyll, and edit their content over the web with prose.io, but without Github and without any local install.

You can see the scope associated with the requested OAuth in app/views/nav.js:

render: function() {
  this.$el.html(_.template(this.template, {
    login: config.site + '/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=' + config.id + '&scope=repo'
  }, { variable: 'data' }));

A scope "repo" is suppose to be enough to access public repos as well as private repos.
See GitHub OAuth scopes.
